| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 500ml bottle. Clear reddish brown with off-white foamy head that thins quickly. Woody, raisin wine aroma. Bubbly, dry raisin wine cooler taste with a clean aftertaste. Very smooth, hides alcohol well but very light on taste. This is the 2nd bottle I’ve had and after having it on tap I expected much much more. It’s tap or nothing for this one. Ported (67), Ontario, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2008 16.9oz in bordeaux glass. Wow! I’m not usually a huge fan of the Scotch Ale. Lovely amber with lightish carbonation. Sweet and sour malt, light roasty nose. Big pale malt flavor with a splash of sour and bitter. Finishes clean with enough carbonic bite to match the mellow warming. Seems like stateside Wees are going over the top (Old Chub?), and this is down to earth and drinkable.
